Contractors

Corona Enterprises has no employees. We prefer for others to work with us not for us. This also allows us to stay lean and build the team that is right for the project. Below are some of the people we go to first when the need arises.

We think it's a pretty great group.

Cody Harrison - Regenerative System Design, Corona Founder

Cody studied Environmental Science and Policy at Duke University and graduated in 2012. Since then he has been working toward and beyond Sustainability (Resilience & Regeneration) in sectors such as wastewater, regenerative agriculture, and green building, where he works to leverage technology as a tool for social good. His goal is to help end the anthropogenic mass extinction event currently taking place and bring humanity back in line with planetary and social boundaries.

Jean Baptiste-Vervaeck - Graphic Design

Jean Baptiste is an outstanding artist and ideator. He is passionate about his work and uses graphic design and illustrations that help people materialize their ideas. Many of the sketches you see on this site are his work.

Chris Reinhart - Living Buildings and architecture

Michael Mays - Process engineer

Mike has an educational background in physics and after college decided he wanted to become a luthier (instrument maker). Now armed with the skillset of a fine woodworker, and the highly logical mind of a physicist Mike uses his skills to build beautiful things, whether those things be a bookmatched Acacia ukulele or a friend's up and coming chocolate business. He is a valuable mind and body to have on any project.
